Junior doctors in Kolkata have been on a hunger strike for 16 days, protesting against the limited representation and insufficient time provided by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to address their demands. Only ten delegates from the 26 to 28 medical colleges were allowed to meet with the CM, and the 45 minutes allocated for discussions was deemed inadequate for addressing all their concerns. The ongoing general body meeting among doctors is focused on deciding their next steps, highlighting the unity among junior doctors in voicing their collective grievances. The protests underscore the urgent need for government attention to medical issues and call for broader involvement from all medical colleges. If their demands remain unmet, there is potential for further escalation of the situation.
